Notes:
(i) Configurations within each group of 4, or with common
symbols (
,
,
,
or
),
form complementary sets for multi-day observations.
[This is for single-frequency observations. For a more sophisticated
approach see section on bandwidth and multi-frequency synthesis.]
(ii) Antenna #6 sits permanently on station W392. Baselines to this
antenna (the last 5 columns) are shown for all configurations, but form
part of a designed array only for configurations 6.0A to 6.0D.
(iii) Prior to July 1996, the 122B configuration was referred to as 120 and
the 122A configuration was known as 122.
